Somalia's Olympic Head Killed in Blast

At least 10 people, including the presidents of Somalia's Olympic committee and the country's soccer federation, were killed in a blast at the national theater in Mogadishu today. The suicide blast occurred during a ceremony at the theater, which was closed as Somalia's civil war began and recently reopened for the first time in two decades. Government officials and dignitaries were among the attendees, and dozens more were wounded, including Somalia's national planning minister, the AP reports. Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, who was in attendance but unhurt, blamed al-Shabaab militants for the attack, the BBC adds. (More Somalia stories.)
